Instructions
Step 1
Take your Genius camera out of the box and place it in the desired location. For this, it is best to use a computer monitor if the camera mount allows such an installation. This will ensure optimal alignment of the lens and microphone.
Step 2
Connect your webcam to a USB port on your computer. There is a special cable for this. It usually does not disconnect from the device itself. If the microphone requires an additional cord to work, make this connection. Use the microphone port on your sound card. If you have a sound card with variable ports, then connect the camera cable to any free channel.
Step 3
Open the audio driver settings and specify the destination of the used port. Now install the drivers for your webcam. If you do not have a special disk, then go to the site https://www.genius.ru/ and select the "Technical support" menu. Go to the Webcams page and find your device model. Download the driver kit for your operating system.
Step 4
Unpack the downloaded archive. Open Device Manager and find your webcam in the hardware list. Click on its name with the right mouse button and select "Update drivers". Click on the item "Search on this computer" and specify the folder into which you unpacked the drivers. Wait for the software update and restart your computer.
Step 5
Install a suitable program, such as Skype, to test your webcam. Run it and see the image quality. Check microphone operation. To do this, you can use the Skype program or the Sound Recorder utility. Its shortcut is located in the standard Start menu programs.
